Private Mount Toubkal trek 2 days

We were a group of five looking to do the 2-day Toubkal trek. Rachid and Farah at Pathfinders Treks were great to communicate with when booking and leading up to the trek. Rachid was recommended to us by a friend. Everything you'd expect was provided for - transfers from Marrakech, meals, refuge and an experienced and attentive guide. Mohamed had a great attitude and was incredible and helpful from start to finish - he really enabled a great atmosphere and took care of everything. On arrival in Imlil he also helped us sort, size and pack our hire equipment - crampons, gaiters, ice pick etc for the snowy conditions at the end of March. We would all recommend Pathfinders and our guide Mohamed! Would happily return for other treks in the Atlas or anywhere else in Morocco

Exhilarating experience to hike through the valley and climb Mount Toubkal in the winter, all in 2 days. Not for the faint of heart to do the summit push in the dark in the snow with crampons and some pretty tricky traverses across mountain slopes. Our guide Mohamed and cook Hussain took really good care of us: flexible, responsive and knowledgable and always with a smile. Would definitely recommend this trip with this outfitter, however - unless you are a fit and experienced mountain hiker - you may want to opt for the 3 days climb in the warmer season instead of the winter ascent in 2 days. Tip: request a more private family room (for an extra fee) in the mountain hut (unless you don't mind sleeping in a small crowded dorm with 12 people) - it's worth it ;-)

We had a wonderful experience climbing Mount Toubkal with our guide Lahcen and the cook Idriss. We enjoyed walking with Lahcen: he took care of everything and made sure we could find our own pace. He especially took good care of my husband when he got ill right after reaching the top of the mountain. He made sure he came down safely. We are thankful for that! The meals prepared by Idriss were delicious.

Amazing 3 days trek! The landscapes were breathtaking. The refuges were at the level and clean for mountain refuges. Great guides as well. Specific thanks to Mohammed who made us discover more than just mountains!

Lahcen and Abdul where the best guide and cook we could hope for, very accommodating great service and good friends made. Really looked after us and made the trek such a fantastic experience!

Youssef led us on a memorable hike through a beautiful valley to the stunning Tizi Mzik mountain pass and nearby summit with 360 degree views. Then, we enjoyed a gourmet lunch cooked by chef Abdul at 2000 meters with lovely views back to Imlil. Thank you to Youssef and Rashid!

We had an incredible experience trekking to Toubkal, thanks to the exceptional organization of this company. Our mountain guide, Lahssen, was fantastic—helpful, friendly, and with a great sense of humor that made the trek even more enjoyable. The cook (whose name, unfortunately, we don't recall) prepared absolutely delicious vegan meals, with portions so generous they far exceeded our appetites! The drivers were punctual and reliable, ensuring safe and smooth transfers to and from Marrakesh. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable trekking adventure.

Our guides Youssef and Ottman went above and beyond in everyway! From being flexible to change drip details at last minute due to food poisioning (dont eat from marrakesh square!), to roadside dancing for long car rides and great company. Ottman is a fantastic driver and took us through many stunning roads! Youssef explained Amazigh culture and provided lots of information throughout the hike, we felt very lucky to also meet his mother and see traditional houses, we would love to return to hike mt toubkal with Youssef, he is very knowledgeable and no one could know the atlas mountains better. The food and accommodation of pathfinders is also excellent. 100% recommend pathfinders (Ottman and Youssef) for you perfect morocco adventure.

Booked through Sierd van der Bij, everything planned by Rachid on site, my expectations were absolutely exceeded. Youssef was my faithful and caring companion. On day 1 we went from 1700m to 3200m in 6 hours. We spent a night at Refuge Toubkal. Great food and good accommodation, supplied with blankets despite cold slept well. The next morning got up after 5am, good breakfast and around 6am we started. Here I noticed my cockiness from 3500m. My companion was very patient, but I had to pay for my own stupidity and recklessness by dropping out at 3800m. My mistakes: Mule and cook voted out, I no preparation and I totally underestimated the altitude from 3000m. Let it be a warning to you! Apart from that, my guide was absolutely phenomenal. Despite my poor English well understood. This tour was an experience and I can only recommend Pathfinders to anyone, as I know that preparation and safety are paramount at Rachid and Youssef. Good Price quality ratio and professional Service, good local knowledge and additional information about the country in general. I recommend Pathfinders and Bookatrekking without restriction!

Had a fantastic hike with Ibrahim my mountain guide, and Hossain the muleteer. Was fantastic to have the mule carry all the bags while hiked from 1700m to the summit at 4167m. All inclusive of taxis to and from Marrakech, food, accommodation in refuge, local tips and great company. Pathfinders gave me plenty of notice about what to pack and what weather I could expect. Great value for a packed 2 day hike. The hike to the summit took us 2.5 hrs, and we even checked out a helicopter wreckage on the way down. Was relieved my fitness was up to scratch coz the final hike to the summit was quite steep!
